Single on valentine's day ?

Romance ... Just what everyone needs...right? The Valentine's Day marketing machine and the quest for social acceptance can make "Singles Awareness Day" dreary or even cruel if you're alone, whether by choice or by circumstance. It's hard to see what else life has to offer when you're bombarded with romantic comedies on TV, flowers, romance novels and cutesy heart-shaped trinkets in the stores, and never-ending drippy advertisements and event announcements.
Here are a few suggestions below made by some fantastic thoughtful ladies on how to spend the day if you're single.  

"Organize a Secret Admirers gifting sesh, à la Secret Santa: You and a group of friends draw names and then deliver items like chocolates, flowers, and teddy bears to each other. That way everyone can have a Valentine"... - Mary 

"Since you aren’t spending your dough on some dude, might as well spend it on yourself. Give yourself some credit for how amazing you are and treat yourself to something special like a mani-pedi, a new necklace, or a blow-out at the salon"- Aubrey, 27

" Ask a guy friend out for a platonic date and split a meal at a tasty restaurant. Make a game out of your dinner discussion by looking around the restaurant at all the couples (there will be a ton!) and guessing which ones will actually last, based on their body language". —Karen, 24 

"Just because you’re single doesn’t mean you’re alone! Round up some unattached chicks and hit the bars, a restaurant, the local karaoke joint, the bowling lanes, whatever. Revel in your ability to have an amazing time, no man needed."  —Katriona, 30

2021 literally chewed me up and spat me out. The most trying time of my life without a shadow of a doubt.   To say it was a dark time in my life would  certainly be an understatement.  I don’t think words can fully convey how Rough it was. Words cannot begin to expound on my experience.  I vividly remember feeling like my entire world was falling apart yet I was still expected to function as a mom , employee , daughter , entrepreneur , sister etc  I could be in a room full of people yet feel extremely lonely and unseen .  To make matters worst , you see the uncomfortable stares and  hear the whispers, murmurs at certain functions .  You want nothing more than to desperately defend/explain yourself yet you’re advised and convicted to attain the maturity to remain still and quiet . It makes you feel defeated , Violated and robbed of your peace and dignity. It feels as though a piece of my soul was violently ripped out of me. I will neve...

Conquer

He says all the right things at the wrong time. when you need him the most; he acts as if you committed a heinous crime. Yet , in the middle of the night , he beats his chest readily to divide and conquer . An art he has "coincidentally" mastered. Last thing on his mind is honoring thy heart . Why would he ? The body is easily accessible , no need to stimulate the mind and soul when you've made it easy for him to stimulate your inner walls. The body is our temple but we have settled to giving out samples. A hurdle we have yet to work hard to trample.   **** It's imperative that, women make their expectations and standards known , the more likely men will be forced to eventually oblige . you cannot expect men to know your expectations if you do not communicate it with them. Unfortunately they're not mind readers, they are action readers . Your actions will prompt them to either rise to the occasion or step aside for someone's who's up  for it as well more q...
